Product Information
Full details
The Seeland Taxus Rain Poncho is designed for adult outdoor enthusiasts seeking lightweight, packable rain protection. Its key benefit is its near-disappearing pack size, making it ideal for carrying on hunts or other excursions. A caveat is its one-size-fits-all nature, which may not suit all body types perfectly. This poncho features a waterproof and windproof SEETEX® membrane, ensuring breathability and protection from the elements, along with a front chest pocket and versatile eyelets for multiple uses.

FAQs
What makes the SEETEX® membrane special?
The SEETEX® membrane is a proprietary technology that provides a high level of waterproofness and windproofness while remaining breathable, preventing moisture buildup inside during physical activity.
How small does the poncho pack down?
The Taxus Rain Poncho is designed to fold down 'to nearly nothing,' making it exceptionally compact and easy to carry in a small pocket or bag.
Can I use this for activities other than hunting?
Yes, its lightweight and packable design makes it suitable for any outdoor activity where quick rain protection is needed, such as hiking, fishing, camping, or attending outdoor events.
What are the 6 eyelets for?
The 6 eyelets are designed for multifunctional use. They can be used with the included fasteners to secure the poncho, or potentially adapted for other creative uses like creating a temporary shelter or attaching items.
Is the poncho suitable for extreme cold weather?
While the poncho provides windproof protection, it is lightweight and does not offer significant insulation. It is best used as an outer shell over insulating layers in cold weather.
How do I clean the poncho?
Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with lukewarm water (max 40°C) using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Air dry away from direct heat.
What is included with the poncho?
The poncho includes 4 elastic ball-end fasteners in two different sizes for securing purposes.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading on the surface / poncho feels damp inside.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the poncho and re-apply a suitable DWR treatment following the product's instructions.
Snap buttons are difficult to fasten/unfasten.
Ensure the fabric around the buttons is not bunched up. If they feel stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied carefully to the male part of the snap.
Poncho feels too loose or flaps excessively in the wind.
Utilize the snap buttons at the sides to cinch the fit. Use the included elastic ball-end fasteners with the eyelets to secure the poncho to yourself or objects for better stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Seeland Taxus Rain Poncho requires no complex setup. Unfold it, and wear it over your existing clothing. The snap buttons on the sides can be adjusted for a more snug fit, and the elastic ball-end fasteners can be used in conjunction with the eyelets for securing the poncho to objects or providing a more stable fit in windy conditions.
Compatibility: This poncho is designed to be worn over standard adult clothing. Its unisex design and one-size fit make it compatible with most adult body types. It can be worn over hunting gear, hiking attire, or casual outdoor wear.
Care Instructions: To maintain the performance of the SEETEX® membrane:
- Cleaning: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with lukewarm water (max 40°C).
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh chemicals, as they can damage the membrane's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang to air dry away from direct heat sources. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.
- Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a DWR treatment to maintain water repellency, following the product's instructions.
